IN MY REMAINS
Separate Sifting through the wreckage I cant concentrate Searching for a message in the fear and pain Broken down and waiting for a chance to feel alive Now in my remains Are promises that never came Set this silence free To wash away the worst of me Come apart Falling in the cracks of every broken heart Digging through the wreckage of your disregard Sinking down and waiting for a chance to feel alive Now in my remains Are promises that never came Set this silence free To wash away the worst of me Like an army Falling One by one by one
BURN IT DOWN
The cycle repeated As explosions broke in the sky All that I needed Was the one thing I couldnt find And you were there at the turn Waiting to let me know Were building it up To break it back down Were building it up To burn it down We cant wait To burn it to the ground The colors conflicted As the flames climbed into the clouds I wanted to fix this But couldnt stop from tearing it down And you were there at the turn Caught in the burning glow And I was there at the turn Waiting to let you know You told me yes / you held me high And I believed when you told that lie I played soldier / you played king And struck me down when I kissed that ring You lost that right / to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down So when you fall / Ill take my turn And fan the flames as your blazes burn
I WANT TO SEE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR LIES SWALLOW UP YOUR GREED SUFFER ALL ALONE IN YOUR MISERY YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF
I'LL BE GONE
Like shining oil this night is dripping down Stars are slipping down Glistening And Im trying not to think what Im leaving now No deceiving now Its time you let me know Let me know When the lights go out and we open our eyes Out there in the silence Ill be gone Ill be gone Let the sun fade out and another one rise Climbing through tomorrow Ill be gone Ill be gone This air between us is getting thinner now Into winter now Bittersweet And cross that horizon this sun is setting down Youre forgetting now Its time you let me go Let me go And tell them I couldnt help myself And tell them I was alone Oh tell me I am the only one And theres nothing that can stop me When the lights go out and we open our eyes Out there in the silence Ill be gone Ill be gone Let the sun fade out and another one rise Climbing through tomorrow Ill be gone Ill be gone Ill be gone
CASTLE OF GLASS
Take me down to the river bend Take me down to the fighting end Wash the poison from off my skin Show me how to be whole again Fly me up on a silver wing Past the black where the sirens sing Warm me up in a novas glow And drop me down to the dream below Cause Im only a crack In this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see Bring me home in a blinding dream Through the secrets that I have seen Wash the sorrow from off my skin And show me how to be whole again Cause Im only a crack In this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see Cause Im only a crack In this castle of glass Hardly anything else I need to be Cause Im only a crack In this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see For you to see
VICTIMIZED
No regret for the confidence betrayed No more hiding in shadow Cause I wont wait for the debt to be repaid Time has come for you VICTIMIZED VICTIMIZED NEVER AGAIN VICTIMIZED Theyre acting like they want a riot / its a riot Ill give em As the siren climbs higher on this violent rhythm For you snakes in the grass / supplying the venom I aint scared for your teeth / I admire whats in em You been waiting in the shadows there Thinking youre hidden But the truth is you dont have the stomach to get em Go on already, hit em / yeah you gotta be kidding Wanna talk about a victim / Imma put you there with em VICTIMIZED VICTIMIZED NEVER AGAIN VICTIMIZED NO
ROADS UNTRAVELED
Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for paths left alone Cause beyond every bend Is a long blinding end Its the worst kind of pain Ive known Give up your heart left broken And let that mistake pass on Cause the love that you lost Wasnt worth what it cost And in time youll be glad its gone Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end And if you need a friend Theres a seat here alongside me
SKIN TO BONE
Skin to bone / steel to rust Ash to ashes / dust to dust Let tomorrow have its way With the promises we made Skin to bone / steel to rust Ash to ashes / dust to dust You deception / my disgust When your name is finally drawn Ill be happy that youre gone Ash to ashes / dust to dust ASH TO ASHES / DUST TO DUST SKIN TO BONE AND STEEL TO RUST Right to left / left to right Night to day and day to night As the starlight fades to grey Ill be marching far away Right to left and left to right ASH TO ASHES / DUST TO DUST SKIN TO BONE AND STEEL TO RUST Let tomorrow have its way With the promises betrayed Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone and steel to rust
UNTIL IT BREAKS
It goes 1 2 3 I was born with the hunger of a lion / the strength of a sun I dont need to sweat it when a competition come Original style like an 808 drum So I dont run the track, no / I make the track run My mama taught me words / my daddy built rockets I put em both together now tell me what I got Its a pretty smart weapon / I can shoot it, I can drop it But learn to respect it cause you clearly cant stop it Like that It aint over cause the Sharks on the left side / the snakes on the right And anything you do they wanna get a little bite It really doesnt matter if youre wrong or if youre right Cause once they get their teeth in / nothing really fights And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose And you can run your mouth like You can try to fill my shoes, but Steady little soldier, I aint standing next to you Id be laying on the ground before youre even in my view Like that Give me the strength of the rising sun Give me the truth of the words unsung And when the last bells ring The poor men sing Bring me the kingdom come Its something for ya people on the block to Black out and rock to Give you what you need like poppa, who shot ya Separate the weak from the obsolete Youre meek / I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on a dime / quick-witted Yall quit trippin I dont have time for your crying I grind tough / sucker, make your mind up Are you in the firing squad or are you in the lineup? Bang bang little monkey man Playing with the big guns only get you slain, I aint playing Im just saying / you aint got a sliver of a chance I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants So shake shake down / money, heres the breakdown You can play the bank Imma play the bank takedown And no mistakes no / coming to get ya Im just a Banksy / youre a brainwash Get the picture Like that We swim against the rising waves And crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks The early morning sings no more So rest your head its time to sleep And dream of whats in store The body bends until it breaks And sings again no more Cause time has torn the flesh away The early morning sings no more

POWERLESS
You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine You woke the devil that I thought youd left behind I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through Ten thousand promises Ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all But you were careless to let it fall You held it all And I was by your side Powerless I watched you fall apart and chase you to the end Im left with emptiness that words can not defend Youll never know what I became because of you Ten thousand promises Ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all But you were careless to let it fall You held it all And I was by your side Powerless
